Bots and Simulations > Evolution and Internet Sharing Sims
Successes...and Failures?
asterixx:
This is quite possibly a repeat topic, sorry for taking up space. (just refer me to the actual topic and delete this one if that's the case )
My question is about the "Find the most successful robot" feature. Is this functioning properly? If so, what are the criteria for highlighting the bot in question? How is 'success' being defined here? Could there potentially be a "Find the least successful robot" feature in the future?
Lastly, and I think I've read this somewhere on these forums already but Im really not too sure; Are the DNA scripts functional or are they also going to be implemented in future versions? I ask this because my Zerobot sim is in full swing now and it would be wonderfully helpful to have someway of searching through this mess of bots.
shvarz:
Currently the best bot is defined as the bot with the most offspring. Not a perfect definition of "best", but anything more complicated would be ... more complicated and subjective.
EricL:
Right. The Best Bot code also excludes veggies...
A "find worst" bot option would mean what exactly? Define what this is and it could of corse be implimented. Oldetst bot without offspring perhaps?
I've never played with scripts. Give it a try. I'll fix any bugs you find...
asterixx:
Firstly, I noticed that it selected a most successful bot that had 0 offspring over one that had 4 offspring...That's why I was confused. In any case, it doesnt really bother me all that much.

Yes, something like that. It could potentially allow for some interesting comparisons, and might help the user to understand what exactly went "wrong", so to speak.
bacillus:
I think a bot's total nrg (counting offspring, nrg, body, slime, shell, poison, venom) should define the best bot function.
